'Sobre no dar Misa en el Presidio' — VERBATIM: 'Se escusan de no haber celebrado Misa en aquel Presidio, alegando su mal temperamᵗᵒ, la falta de ornamᵗᵒˢ pr el caso, y el poco aprecio del carácter sacerdotal qe hacen los soldados, tildando al qe comunicaba con ellos con el mote de frailero; llegándose hasta intimar pr el cabo de la Guardia la órden de qe ningun soldado se arrimase á la casa de los PP, avisándolos pr escrito.' [The friars excuse not celebrating Mass at that presidio, alleging bad temperament, lack of ornaments, & the soldiers' low regard for the priestly character, branding whoever dealt with them 'frailero'; even the guard corporal ordered no soldier approach the friars' house]. (Cop. dirigida á Neve pr Fages, la misma fecha. Firmantes: Fr. Pedro Benites y Fr. Franco Salou[Palou].)
